Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno has signed Executive Order no. 17 which strictly enforces city ordinances that implement liquor ban. This includes selling near schools and selling it to minors.
Stores and other establishments that are within the 200-km range of schools and universities are not allowed to sell liquor.
However, Moreno said there are several establishments that “flagrantly violated” the said ordinances.
“Such violations of said city ordinances affect the physical and moral well-being of the Manilenos in general, and the youths and students, in particular, prompting for the strict implementation of said ordinances and imposing the penalties provided therefore,” the executive order read.
Moreno already canceled the permit of establishments that are within the said range.
The executive order also states that violators would be subjected to administrative and criminal charges, fines, and revocation of permits and licenses issued by the local government.—AAC
